Recalls and investigations

1. Electrical system, wiring, rear compartment/trunkPark outsideMay 11, 2023

   Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Jeep Cherokee vehicles equipped with a power liftgate. An electrical short in the power liftgate module may lead to a vehicle fire with the ignition on or off.

   A fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury.

   Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will relocate the power liftgate module and add a water shield. In addition, dealers will inspect for corrosion and replace the module and electrical connectors, if necessary. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner letters were mailed March 1, 2024. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is 49A. This recall supersedes recalls 15V-393 and 15V-826.

2. Power train, driveline, differential unitJun 11, 2020

   Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2017 Jeep Cherokee vehicles equipped with a two-speed Power Transfer Unit (PTU). Relative movement in the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) between the differential input splines and the transmission output shaft may cause some input spline teeth to wear off, which may eventually cause a loss of engagement between the transmission and the differential inside the PTU. If this occurs, power cannot be transferred between the front wheels and the transmission which results in a loss of drive while the vehicle is in motion and a loss of the Park function while stationary.

   A loss of drive can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. A loss of the Park function can cause unintended vehicle rollaway which can increase the risk of a crash or injury.

   FCA US LLC will notify owners, and dealers will perform a software update that will maintain vehicle propulsion by engaging rear wheel drive and prevent rolling in Park by activating the electronic parking brake if a failed input spline occurs. This recall began July 14, 2020. Owners may contact FCA USA LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is W47.

   Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014 Jeep Cherokee vehicles equipped with 3.2L engines. In the event that a clutch becomes stuck in the transmission, the transmission software may shift the transmission to neutral.

   An unexpected shift to neutral would result in a loss of drive, increasing the risk of crash.

   Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the transmission software, free of charge. The recall began August 8, 2019. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is V69.

4. Electrical system, wiringMay 17, 2018

   Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.

   If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

   Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.

1. Power train, Sep 6, 2017

   TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ROUGH. JERKS BACK AND FORTH WHEN SWITHCING GEARS. SLAMS INTO GEAR.

2. Power train, Engine, Sep 6, 2017

   ISSUE 1. ENGINE: AT ANY TIME THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED GOING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, AND IT HAS HAPPENED BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. I HAVE HAD MY ENGINE SHUT OFF ON ME 5 TIMES, I'VE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 3 MONTHS. THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF BUT ALL OTHER POWER WILL STAY ON. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN COMPLETELY AT RANDOM, I HAVEN'T NOTICED ANY RELATION TO SPEED, TYPE OF ROAD, OR WHAT THE VEHICLE IS DOING. ISSUE 2. TRANSMISSION: THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION WILL RANDOMLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL WHILE I'M ACCELERATING I LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF VEHICLE ACCELERATION. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO ALWAYS HAPPEN WHILE ACCELERATING. THIS ISSUE HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO ME AT A WIDE RANGE OF SPEEDS. THIS ISSUE HAS AFFECTED ME OVER 10 TIMES, LAST TIME BEING YESTERDAY IN A SCHOOL ZONE. BOTH ISSUES HAPPEN INDEPENDANTLY OF EACH OTHER, I HAVEN'T FOUND ANY RELATION BETWEEN THE TWO. BOTH ISSUES CAUSE ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. THE WAY THAT FCA AND MY DEALERSHIP TREAT THIS ISSUE AS IF IT ISN'T DANGEROUS IS INCREDIBLY CONCERNING. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR A MONTH NOW AND THE ONLY SOLUTION SERVICE HAS PRESENTED IS TO PUT A DATA RECORDER ON BOARD, WITH THE HOPES OF MY VEHICLE FAILING ON ME. MY RESEARCH HAS LEAD TO ONE POTENTIAL LINK. BASED ON A 2016 FCA RECALL #16V529000, INSUFFICIENT CRIMPS IN THE TRANSAXLE WIRING HARNESS CAN CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO RANDOMLY SHIFT TO NEUTRAL, AND CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE AND THE ISSUES STILL PERSIST.

   SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING DRIVING 2014 JEEP THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS. TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT FOR ALL MAINTENANCE ASKING THEM TO CHECK THE TRANS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SLIPPING AND TOLD EVERY TIME IT IS WAY THE TRANS WORKS. I HAVE 60K MILES ON THIS VEHICLE I AM CONCERNED THAT THE TRANS WILL FAIL WHILE I AM ON THE ROAD AND CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT. 8/10 I HAD AN APP'T FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I REQUESTED A VEHICLE CHECK AND CHECK BRAKES AS THEY DID NOT SEEM TO BE WORKING AS THEY SHOULD. WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE NEEDED FRONT/BACK BRAKES AND THAT ROTORS NEEDED REPLACED. I ONLY TRAVELED ABOUT 15 MILES WHEN I HEARD A CLINKING SOUND IN LEFT REAR IT SOUNDED AS IF A LUG NUT LOOSE WHEN I STOPPED THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE LOWERED AND WHEN MOVING IT SOUNDED LIKE A BUCKET OF METAL IN MY REAR WHEEL. I TURNED INTO A PARKING. WHEN BACKING UP THE VEHICLE FROZE I STOPPED, CALLED SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF FREEDOM. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPT. WAS TOLD ISSUE WAS BRAKES WERE NOT INSTALLED/SECURED PROPERLY. I ASKED THAT ALL THE BRAKES BE INSPECTED, IF THE TECH DID NOT KNOW HOW TO INSTALL ONE THERE WAS A CONCERN FOR THE OTHER 3 WHEELS I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE OF HAVING A FATAL CRASH. I ALSO ASKED THAT ALL WORK BE REINSPECTED. WHEN EXPLAINING WHAT HAD HAPPENED IT WAS OBVIOUS REP WAS SPEAKING BEYOND SCOPE OF HER KNOWLEDGE ' THIS WAS VERY FRUSTRATING I WAS PLACED IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION DUE TO THE POOR WORKMANSHIP OF THE TECH. THE STORY DID NOT MAKE SENSE THE MORE SHE TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT WAS MORE CONVOLUTED. I WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE SERVICE MGER WHO EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED, ADMITTED THAT BRAKE FAILURE WAS TECH'S FAULT. IN LIGHT OF ALL THE TIMES I HAVE HAD THE JEEP INTO SERVICE DEPT COMPLAINING ABOUT TRANS DOES NOT GIVE ME A LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE THAT THERE IS NOT SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT WITH THE TRANS I WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER

I HAD PUT MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP BACK IN OCTOBER 2016 BECAUSE IT WOULD STOP ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING WHETHER IT BE I'M COMING DOWN THE HILL AT A STOP SIGN OR DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND IT WOULD JUST LOSE ALL MOTIVE POWER. WOULD ALSO LOSE POWER ON FREEWAY WHERE I WOULD HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY TRY AND FIND A WAY TO GET OVER. RECENTLY THIS TIME IT LOST POWER ANF WHEN I RESTARTED IT IT WOULDN'T GO IN REVERSE AND ONLY GO IN DRIVE I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GO UP TO 25 MILES PER HOUR ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE LAST TIME IT BROKE DOWN I PUT IT IN THE SHOP AND THEY SAID THEY HAD REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION SINCE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART FOR MY TRANSAXLE RECALL AND THAT WAS TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

   SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOOSES ABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD. ENGINE STILL RUNS, DISPLAY SAYS SHIFT TO PARK, THEN BACK TO DESIRED GEAR. CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT, CHECK PARKING BRAKE LIGHT. LOSS OF POWER OCCURS SUDDENLY - HAS OCCURED WHILE CROSSING INTERSECTION. REQUIRES STOPPING CAR. PUTTING IN PARK. USUALLY I ALSO HAVE TO SHUT DOWN IGNITION AND RESTART, THEN SHIFT BACK INTO DRIVE. PROBLEM RESETS THE TRANSMISSION, CAUSING ANY LEARNING DATA TO BE ABSENT - FIRST SHIFTS INTO GEAR EXTREMELY ROUGH. VEHICLE HAS HAD TRANSMISSION RECALL PREFORMED - BUT THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE. CHRYSLER HAS INFORMED ME THAT CERTAIN ERRORS CAN OCCUR THAT SEND A SHUT DOWN CODE TO THE TRANSMISSION. OBD2 CODE WHEN THIS HAPPENED FOR ME WAS P1DDD-00. THEY SAY THAT FUEL VALVE ISSUES IN THE FUEL SYSTEM CAUSE THE CODE, WHICH IN TURN SHUTS DOWN TRANSMISSION. NOTE ATTACHED SERVICE BULLETIN THAT HINTS AT ISSUE. THE CRAZY THING IS A FAULT IN THE FUELS SYSTEM ALLOWS THE ENGINE TO CONTINUE (GREAT SINCE ENGINE CONTINUES - NOW MY CAR ENGINE COULD CATCH ON FIRE AND I HAVE NO MOTIVE POWER) - BUT RESETS THE TRANSMISSION, LEAVING ONE STRANDED FOR SEVERAL MOMENTS WHERE EVER THIS OCCURS. CHRYSLER TELLS ME OTHER ISSUES CAN CAN CAUSE TRANSMISSION SHUT DOWN IN LIEU OF GOING TO LIMP MODE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES OF THIS IN THE 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP - MANY PEOPLE THINK THERE IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE - MAYBE THERE ARE ON SOME CARS - BUT NOW I LEARN THAT OTHER FAILURES CAN CAUSE RANDOM RESETS OF THE TRANSMISSION. CHRYSLER SAYS - SEE SERVICE BULLETIN - EVEN OVERFILLING GAS TANK CAN CAUSE THIS ISSUE. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND UNFIT TO BE ON THE STREETS.

    PURCHASED USED WITH 36,000 MI. ON 20TH DAY OF OWNERSHIP, EXPERIENCED THE FEELING OF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND WHILE APPROACHING DRIVEWAY AT LOW SPEED. THAT EVENING FELT SAME "REAR-ENDED" FEELING WHILE SITTING STILL IN DRIVE-THRU. THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD SO SUDDENLY THAT HAD I NOT HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, WE WOULD HAVE HIT VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. SIMULTANEOUS TO "LURCH" FORWARD, THE CAR DIED LIKE THE FEELING OF "POPPING CLUTCH ON MANUAL TRANSMISSION". DROVE HOME AND ENGINE DIED AGAIN AT ABOUT 5 MPH AFTER RIGHT TURN. RESTARTED & CONTINUED ONTO STREET AND INTO DRIVEWAY. NEXT MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK, IT FELT LIKE IT WANTED TO DIE AND WAS STRUGGLING WITH GEARS. I PULLED INTO MY PARKING PLACE AND MY BOSS HAPPENED TO BE STANDING THERE NEXT TO HIS CAR. AS HE STOOD NEXT TO THE CAR WHILE I WAS IN IT, IT LURCHED FORWARD AGAIN AND DIED. NEEDLESS TO SAY HE WAS STARTLED, AND AGAIN, HAD I NOT HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, I COULD HAVE HIT HIM AS WELL AS THE BRICK WALL IN FRONT OF THE CAR. SO I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND IT DIED AGAIN WHILE IN "P". NOT COOL, HEADED TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I STARTED IT AGAIN, AND AS I STARTED TO PULL OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY ONTO A VERY BUSY STREET, THE CAR HESITATED (WHAT SEEMED LIKE A COUPLE OF SECONDS) BEFORE IT WOULD CROSS THE 2 LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC GOING 40-50 MPH. UM, YEAH. SCARY. A MILE OR SO DOWN THE ROAD, IT DECIDED TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN, THIS TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF A 3-LANE ROAD GOING ABOUT 30 MPH AND I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED! I RESTARTED AND PROCEEDED TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT - NO DIAGNOSIS THERE AFTER THEM KEEPING THE CAR FOR 4 DAYS. THEY SENT TO JEEP DEALER, WHERE IT STILL SITS TODAY, WAITING FOR IT TO ACT-UP AND GET A DIAGNOSIS SO IT CAN BE "FIXED". JEEP HAS HAD IT 15 DAYS AND STILL NO ANSWERS. I HAD THE CAR 20 DAYS, AND THE DEALER(S) HAVE HAD IT A TOTAL OF 18. THIS CAR IS A TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN....

12. Power train, Wheels, Engine, Aug 9, 2017

    SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD TO TAKE TO MULTIPLE DEALERS, THAT COULD NEVER REMEDY THE "HARD JERKING, MISSED GEAR SHIFTING AND REPETITIVE ENGINE LIGHT WARNING AND COMPLETE ENGINE SHUTDOWNS". I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE, THAT I'M TOLD THE ONLY FIX IS TO COMPLETELY REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION, BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY, I WAS TOLD A COMPUTER REPROGRAM WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. I PERFORMED A VIN AUDIT, AND SOME OF THE VISITS TO THE MULTIPLE DEALERS DON'T REFLECT THE ACTUAL SERVICE, BUT I HAVE MY DOCUMENTS. NOW I HAVE A NEGATIVE EQUITY VEHICLE THAT I FEAR TO DRIVE, AT THE MOMENT I JUST TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY LOOKED AT IT AND NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF. I HAVE ORAL FEAR THE INCONSISTENCIES OF THIS VEHICLE, SO I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE, UNTIL I GET A RESOLVE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AFTER MULTIPLE COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER ON I-80 WHILE COMING BACK FROM A FAMILY TRIP FROM NYC. GOING 65 MPH TO HAVE THE VEHICLE LOSS COMPLETE POWER IS INSANE. THE ONLY RESOLVE WAS TO PULL OVER, WAIT, AND TRY AGAIN.

    WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND TRANSMISSION STARTED TO DISENGAGE. RPMS WERE GOING HIGH BUT THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING. LATER THAT DAY, THE CAR LUNGED AND THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR DASHBOARD. THE CAR WOULD GO IN REVERSE BUT NOT FORWARD. WE TURNED IT OFF, THEN BACK ON. SAME ISSUE BUT THE CAR LET US DRIVE IT HOME. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK WITH ONLY 22,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN ACTING UP SINCE THE DAY WE PURCHASED IT. IT'S AN AUTOMATIC SHIFT, BUT IT IS VERY ROUGH, THE CAR HESTIATES WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS. NOT SURPISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT ON A 3-YEAR OLD CAR WITH ONLY 22,000 MILES - PITYFUL.

14. Power train, Jul 28, 2017

    ONGOING TRANSMISSION ISSUE - EVEN AFTER SOFTWARE UPDATES THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS 2014 TRAILHAWK FAILS WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. THE VEHICLE JUST SHUTS DOWN, THE TRANSMISSION LOSES POWER AND FORWARD MOMENTUM. THE VEHICLE IS STILL RUNNING, BUT YOU CAN PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AND GO NOWHERE, STEERING IS ALSO AFFECTED. FIRST, WE WERE TOLD BY SAN ANTONIO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANK - THAT FILLING UP THE VEHICLE CAUSES FUEL TO SPILL OVER INTO SOME AREA CAUSING IT TO STALL... REALLY ?... OKAY. THEN WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A SOFTWARE ISSUE AND AN UPDATE WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM - NOPE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US WHILE TRYING TO MAKE LEFT-HAND TURNS, WHILE TRAVELING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, AND WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE INTO INTERSECTIONS OR WHILE ACCELERATING OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM PARKING LOTS... AND IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING - THE VEHICLE JUST QUITS. IT'S DANGEROUS AND YOU TAKE YOUR LIFE INTO YOUR OWN HANDS EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE IT. THE LATEST SOFTWARE UPDATES WERE DONE IN JANUARY 2017 (WHICH CDJ WANTED TO CHARGE US FOR). THE UPDATES STILL DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM SO WE LEFT THE TRAILHAWK SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY - THAT KILLED OUR BATTERY. THE TRAILHAWK IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW AND THEY WANT $300.00 (250. PLUS LABOR) FOR A NEW BATTERY AND CHARGE US TO DO ANOTHER "TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE" BECAUSE IT'S "NOT UNDER WARRANTY" EVEN THOUGH WE BOUGHT THE EXTENDED 75,000 MILE WARRANTY (WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A CHRYSLER WARRANTY, BUT WE HAVE RECENTLY LEARNED IS A 3RD PARTY WARRANTY" -_- . I'M TIRED OF CHRYSLER'S INABILITY TO FIX THIS ONGOING AND DANGEROUS SITUATION - AND WE ARE STILL MAKING OUR PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE WE CAN'T DRIVE.

    THE CAR WHEN DRIVING SHIFT.S LIKE TO SECOND GEAR.

16. Power train, Jul 26, 2017

    CAR WAS RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND SHIFTING WAS VERY HARSH. BROUGHT IT TO DEALER WHO DID SOFTWARE UPDATE AND TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THIS CAR'S OIL HAS TO BE CHECKED EVERY 1,000 MILES. NOT CURRENTLY HAVING SHUTTING OFF PROBLEMS ANYMORE, BUT SHIFTING AND LURCHING REMAINS. TRYING ANOTHER DEALER TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIX IT. OPENED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER, WHO GAVE ME A CASE # AND SAID BRING IT TO A DEALER. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE FULL TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT!

17. Power train, Jul 24, 2017

    REALLY BAD/ROUGH GEAR SHIFTING, JUMPING, BANGING, LURCHING. VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND SOMETIMES DOESN'T EVEN GO INTO GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. ON CITY STREETS WHEN HAVING TO STOP FOR A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT

    VEHICLE RUN ROUGH, JERKING,HESITATING AND ACCELERATING. STALLS WHEN STOPPING CAUSING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRANSMISSION SERVICE AND OTHER WARNING LIGHT TO FLASH. WHEN RESTARTING IT VIOLENTLY SHIFTS AND SLAMS INTO GEAR, REVERSE FIRST AND THEN IN DRIVE. WHEN IN REVERSE OR DRIVE IT GOES INTO NEUTRAL. REQUIRES ANOTHER RESTART WITH SAME CONSEQUENCES. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THERE IS NO ACCELERATION AT FIRST THEN SLOW ACCELERATION WHILE IT IS ACTING LIKE IT WILL STALL AGAIN FEELING REAL SLUGGISH. ALL THE WHILE LIGHTS ARE FLASHING ON THE DASH. IT HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE 8 TIMES THE MOST RECENT BEING 7/11/2017. SERVICE HAS PERFORMED REPLACING TCM AND UPDATING IT 5 TIMES, REPLACING VAPOR CANISTER, FUEL TANK. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH ALL THE THE ISSUES HAPPENING AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS NO ISSUES FOUND. SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS TRIED TO PLACE THE BLAME ON ME STATING THAT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PUMP GAS, AS I AM OVERFILLING. (THIS IS INCORRECT) ANOTHER ISSUE THAT IS HAPPENING IS THAT WHEN TRYING TO FUEL THE VEHICLE AT ANY GAS STATION, IT WILL ONLY TAKE A LITTLE FUEL AND CLICK OFF LIKE IT IS FULL WHEN IN FACT IT IS NEAR EMPTY. GASSING THE VEHICLE CAN TAKE UPWARDS OF 15 MINUTES TO GET TO THE 3/4 MARK. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE SINCE DEC 2015 WHEN THE STALLING OUT AS I AM TRYING TO CROSS TRAFFIC, SCARY SITUATION BUT LUCKILY I WASN'T HIT. LOSES ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ON THE INTERSTATES, WHICH NOW LIMITS THE AMOUNT OF TIME AND PLACES THAT I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, AS I PREFER THAT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY INCLUDING GRAND CHILLDREN LIVE VS. DIE. SO IN ESSENCE I HAVE A LUXURY VEHICLE THAT I PAY $600/MONTH AND I CAN ONLY DRIVE IT AROUND LIKE AN OLD BEATER CAR. WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS. FIAT CHRYSLER HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT, CLOSING MY CASE BECAUSE SERVICE FINDS NO ISSUE.

    I HAVE A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE THAT IS A LEMON. IT JERKS REALLY HARD WHEN YOU TAKE OFF FROM A STOP, IT LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE STEERING GETS REALLY TIGHT AND YOU CAN BARELY TURN THE WHEEL WHILE DRIVING, IF YOU DONT WAIT FOR THE CAR TO JERK TWICE WHEN YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE IT WILL GO BACKWARDS IN REVERSE WHILE IN DRIVE, THE RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROLL CONSTANTLY RESET DO TO POWER FAILURE, SOMETIMES IT DONT WANT TO START, THE CHECK ENINE LIGHT DID'NT EVEN COME ON UNTIL A WEEK AFTER THE PROBLEMS STARTED, IT THROWS WARNING LIGHTS LIKE LOW TIRE PRESSURE OR TRACTION CONTROLL WHEN NOTHING IS WRONG, AND THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $800 (THAT I CAN NOT AFFORD) JUST TO SEE WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO TRY AND FIX IT. THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHATS WRONG OR IF THEY EVEN CAN BUT THEY EXPECET ME TO PAY THEM!!! I HAVE ONLY HAD MY CAR 15 MONTHS AND IT ONLY HAS 38,000 MILES ON IT,AND NOW I FIND OUT THAT IT HAS WENT WAY DOWN IN VALUE DUE TO ALL THE RECALLS. WHAT CAN I DO????

21. Power train, Jul 8, 2017

    5 TIMES NOW THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE IT SAYS CHECK TRANSMISSION THIS HAS HAPPENED IN MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY AND IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN IN TRAFFIC CHRYSLER HAS RESET AND REPLACED TRANSMISSION MODULES AND IT IS STILL DOING IT! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! ON THE ROAD YOU SLOW TO A STOP IT IDLES DOWN AND GOES TO CHECK TRANSMISSION AND WILL NOT MOVE EITHER GET IT PUSHED OUT OF THE WAY OR HAD TO ROLL BACKWARDS OUT OF TRAFFIC AT A LIGHT. ONCE HAD TO PUSH ACROSS 4 LANES OF ROAD TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AGAIN ROLLED UP TO A STOP IT LT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR FORWARDS OR BACK!

22. Power train, Jun 28, 2017

    WHILE DRIVING THE CAR JUST STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD AND HE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS 5TH TIME WITH THE SAME ISSUE. JEEP COULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE.

23. Power train, Jun 27, 2017

    2014 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK 9 SPD TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED MULTIPLE TIMES AND TRANSMISSION REPLACED ONCE BY DEALER AND CHRYSLER - ALSO PAID $5000 FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY. A DANGEROUS PROBLEM STILL EXISTS WITH NO RESOLUTION AT 45,000 MILES. NOTHING THE DEALER CAN DO TO KEEP TRANSMISSION FROM VIOLENT ACTIONS SHIFTING OR DELAYED FREEWHEELING SHIFTING WITH LOUD BANGING LURCHES.THERE WERE TWO VERY DANGEROUS NEAR-WRECKS WHEN CAR JUST ROLLED OUT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEFORE "BANG-ACCELERATE" - SEVERAL SECOND DELAY BEFORE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED. YIELD SIGNS ARE DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC YOU HAVE TO COME TO A FULL STOP AND WAIT SEVERAL SECONDS, RISKING REAR-END COLLISIONS AND ANGRY HONKING FROM OTHERS COMING TO FAST STOPS. THE ALTERNATIVE IS TO PAUSE, THEN ACCELERATE WITH THE TRANSMISSION FREEWHEELING FOR A SECOND OR TWO BEFORE CATCHING AS IF YOU REVVED THE ENGINE AND THEN POPPED THE CLUTCH ON AN OLD STANDARD TRANSMISSION. THAT IS IF YOU ARE LUCKY, AND IT DOESN'T TAKE LONGER WHILE YOU ROLL OUT INTO TRAFFIC WITHOUT IT ACCELERATING. ALSO, MULTIPLE TIMES, IT FELT LIKE THE CAR BEING HIT WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND TAPPED BRAKE TO SLOW THEN ACCELERATE.THE TRANSMISSION FREE-WHEELED, THEN SHIFTED INTO AN UNKNOWN GEAR - SAME POP-THE-CLUTCH REACTION AS THE BRAKE IS RELEASED. IT ALSO DOES THESE THINGS OCCASIONALLY IN REVERSE PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SEEM TO EVER KNOW THE SPEED CHANGED WHILE IT WAS THINKING ABOUT WHICH GEAR IT SHOULD USE. I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE TO SPECIFICALLY AVOID SUCH INCIDENTS SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR. EACH TIME IN, THE DEALER SAYS IT WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY AND WILL LEARN TO OPERATE BETTER AFTER A HUNDRED MILES OR SO - NOT. I'M PARKING IT UNTIL RESOLUTION, DRIVING 2007 KIA W/OVER 104,000 MILES. MUCH SAFER FOR THE GRAND-KIDS, WE TAKE CARE OF 40 HOURS A WEEK. ( 71 YEAR-OLD DISABLED/HANDICAPPED VET WITH DISABLED WIFE).

    MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE AT 41000 MILES HAD A BRAKE FAILURE. NOW AT 51000 MILES THE ENGINE HAS BEEN STALLING WHILE IN MOTION AND SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME AFTER THE 2ND TIME IN FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT THE VEHICLE WAS 3.5 QUARTS LOW ON OIL AND THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF TO "PROTECT ITSELF" . THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED FOR IN MY GARAGE FOR 3 DAYS, AFTER DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 3 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, UPON CHECKING IT IS AGAIN LOW ON OIL. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SERVICED AS RECOMMENDED AND DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS SUDDEN OIL USE, THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF LEAKAGE OR SMOKING, AND THE WARNING SYSTEM IS NOT INDICATING LOW OIL PRESSURE. IT IS GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP MONDAY MORNING.

25. Power train, Electronic stability control (ESC), Jun 20, 2017

    TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND TRACTION CONTROL. LURCHES FORWARD, SHAKES WHEN TAKING OFF, HESITATES WHEN TAKING OFF (SOMETIMES 10 SECONDS OR MORE) THEN KICKS INTO GEAR REALLY HARD. TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON AND HAVE REDUCED POWER, RPMS ARE VERY HIGH BUT THE CAR JUST DOESN'T WANT TO GO. SOMETIMES WILL TELL ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK THEN SHIFT TO DESIRED GEAR. THE TRANS WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR. IT LEFT ME STRANDED ALONE ON A MAJOR ROAD LATE AT NIGHT. WHEN IT ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT HAS SPENT OVER A MONTH AT ONE DEALERSHIP. BEEN IN MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE TRANS AND THEY DO AN UPDATE AND SAY ITS ALL GOOD. THIS CAR HAS PUT ME IN QUITE A FEW NEAR MISSES. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE POWER YOU NEED. THE TIMES I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEMS, IT DIDN'T MATTER IF I WAS TURNING OR DRIVING A STRAIGHT LINE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS. THEY PERFORMED A RECALL THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX IT BUT I DID NOTHING. ITS ALMOST LIKE IT GOT WORSE.
